The 2014 William B. Joyner Lecture: Ground-Motion Prediction Equations: Past, Present, and Future (6.5 Mb). The link is to the latest version of the 2014 William B. Joyner Lecture. The lecture has been presented at the New Mexico State University, Las Cruces, New Mexico (April 17, 2014); the USGS, Menlo Park, California (April 23, 2014); the 2014 SSA meeting in Anchorage, Alaska (May 01, 2014); Kandilli Observatory and Earthquake Research Institute, Istanbul, Turkey (October 20, 2014); the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Thessaloniki, Greece (October 24, 2014); UCLA, Westwood, California (November 18, 2014); University of Utah (March 4, 2015); SMIP15 Symposium, Davis, California (October 22, 2015). Aside from gradual improvements in some of the figures, the main differences in the lectures are the deaggregations of the hazard maps, specific to the site of each lecture (with the exception of the lectures in Greece and Turkey, which used the deaggregations for Anchorage, Alaska).
